Daylight Saving Time is upon us

But first, remember to set your clocks ahead one hour (spring forward!) Saturday night. Daylight Saving Time officially begins at 2 a.m. Sunday. Your digital devices will probably take care of that for you automatically.

As for spring — according to the Old Farmers Almanac, astronomically speaking the vernal equinox (12 hours of daylight, 12 hours of darkness) arrives at 9:30 p.m. on March 19 in the Pacific Time Zone. But that is 12:30 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone, so spring there begins on March 20.

According to the Old Farmers Almanac, this will be “the earliest spring of our lives” — thanks in part to 2016 being a leap year, in which February has 29 days.
